Chapter 112: Charge
As the teaching order of the county school gradually returned to normal, the turmoil caused by the fighting of the students of the Sword Society finally subsided.
The county commander Gao Fei became the biggest beneficiary of this incident, seizing the 'military power' of Wu County and the right to approve the management of the county government's small treasury.
Taking this step, the county order Gao Fei has truly become the real power of Wu County.
Two months passed, during which Fan Ning returned home and attended the grand opening ceremony of the Fan Stone Pavilion.
Zhu Yuanfu and Zhou Lin, the two old men, invited all the stone friends in their circle to cheer.
On the same day, more than 70 pieces of high-grade and high-quality Taihu stones were sold, and the income was huge.
Fanning's family moved back to Jiangwan Village, and the house in Mudu Town was lent to the second uncle's family for temporary residence, and the new house in Jiangwan Village was completed, covering an area of two and a half acres, ranking third in the village, second only to Zhou Lin's mansion and Jiang Yuanwai's house.
Because her mother Zhang Sanniang was pregnant again and her health was inconvenient, the family invited three servant women and a little maid.
But for Fanning, the most important thing is the May 20 exam for the county school supplementary students.
The students of Wu County School are not only from Wu County, but also students from the entire Pingjiang Prefecture can come to register for the exam, including students from Kunshan, Wujiang, Changzhou and other places.
Of course, at most, they are local students in Wu County.
This time, only 50 people were admitted to the supplementary enrollment of county schools, but more than 1,000 people rushed to apply for the examination, and only one person was admitted out of 20, and the competition was extremely fierce.
Fanning has taught six students eight times, and the effect is still relatively obvious, he analyzes and compares to find the pattern of questions over the years, and then removes the test questions that have appeared several times in a row.
Fanning finally sorted out a set of question banks composed of more than 100 test questions, and asked six students to spend two months to overcome these more than 100 test questions.
In the evening of that day, Fanning came to the door of the bookstore, and saw Akihito and Mingli chatting with their buddies in the bookstore from a distance.
The biggest headache for Fanning was the two brothers, who found that the business genes in their bodies were too heavy.
In their own words, their mother was still setting up a stall with them, and they were born into business.
Not to mention, in the past two months, the two of them have been running around, aiming at dozens of second- and third-rate schools in Wu County.
actually sold out the bookstore's backlog of thousands of discounted undergraduate books, netting more than 40 yuan, and the directors smiled from ear to ear and praised them for their ability.
"You two!"
Fanning stepped forward and said angrily: "The exam is going to be in five days, and you still refuse to stop?" ”
When the two brothers saw Fan Ning, their faces were immediately full of smiles, and they ran over and swore a curse, "We have long washed our hands and worked hard at home, and we don't even go to school these days." ”
"What about the questions you did?"
Fanning stretched out his hand in front of them and said coldly, "Show it to me!" ”
The two looked at each other, and Akihito hurriedly said, "I lost it at home, bring it next time!" ”
"It's in the town of Mudu! It's too late to go back and get it now. Mingli also said.
"Really?"
Fan Ning said with a smile: "I was worried that you didn't do that set of test questions, so I planned to reduce the scope for you again, since you are already working hard at home, then I don't need to do much." ”
The two brothers had the same mind, and immediately grabbed Fanning's arm from left to right, and said with a smile: "We only washed our hands yesterday morning, and we started to work the questions in the evening. ”
Another said: "The main reason is that the questions are too difficult, and we only did one question each." ”
Fanning snorted, "And what were you guys doing yesterday afternoon?" ”
"We went to visit Strange Stone Lane yesterday afternoon, and we couldn't hold back for a while, and then we found a golden basin to wash our hands."
Fan Ning was out of options, he looked at the two of them for a while and said, "You come with me!" ”
Fanning took the two to the second floor of the warehouse, he sat down cross-legged, and said to the two: "Sit down, I have something to say!" ”
Mingren and Mingli sat down, the two of them squeezed their eyebrows, and when Fanning snorted heavily, the two immediately straightened their backs with serious faces.
"I promised the second uncle to help you get admitted to the county school, and after the end of the exam, the three of us brothers will do a big business, and in a few years, we can make a profit of at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, can this proposal make you tempted?"
Akihito and Mingli opened their mouths wide, and after a while, Akihito asked, "Second brother, do you believe his words?" ”
"I guess he hasn't woken up from his dream yet!"
Fanning smiled but didn't say a word.
The two brothers looked at each other again, and Mingli said with a puzzled expression: "Even if you have this ability, what does this have to do with the county school?" ”
"I promised the second uncle, at least let you participate in the exam, to be honest, I hope you can pass the exam, get the qualification to lift people, become a gentry, and be able to take charge of yourself in the future."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and other students came one after another.
Fanning pointed to his head and said to his brother, "If your ambition is only to sell a few books and make a small business, then I will not force you.
But if you want to make a lot of money with me, just fight with me and be admitted to the county school, my words have come to this, you can think about it yourself! ”
At this time, Dong Kun, Lin Hong and the tall and burly Li Dashou walked up to the second floor, and the last one to come up was Lu Youwei, the wound on his face had healed, leaving a faint scar.
In his father's words, he had to stand far away on a blind date in the future.
The four of them saluted Fan Ning, "Hello senior brother!" ”
"Sit down, everybody!"
The four of them sat down, took out all the homework that Fanning had assigned them, and handed it to Fanning.
Fanning smiled and said: "There are still two make-up classes that are coming to an end, just like I told you on the first day, we have to cast a wide net and focus on the hook, so the last two make-up classes are the time for me to focus on the hook." ”
Everyone took out paper and pen to prepare for the record, and even Akihito and Mingli were not the usual big grin, and listened to the lecture seriously.
Fanning took out a textbook and looked at it, and then continued to say to everyone: "I have carefully considered that this supplementary exam is actually a continuation of the entrance exam at the beginning of the year.
So the person who wrote the question should still be the same as at the beginning of the year, and it was still Rene Zhang who made the question, so the focus of my research in the past few days is the characteristics and rules of Professor Zhang's questions.
In terms of the topic of the thesis, Zhang Ruoying has already published "Mencius" twice in a row, so will it be changed to "Analects" this time? ”
Fanning looked at everyone and came to a conclusion, "I don't think so, it's better to take the "Mencius" test!" ”
Dong Kun raised his hand and asked, "Senior brother thinks it won't, so there should be a basis, right?" ”
"Of course there is a basis!"
Fanning smiled and took out a stack of test papers and handed them to everyone.
"This is fifteen years ago, twelve years ago and ten years ago, these three exams were also Zhang Ruoying's questions, three consecutive times are the "Analects", and they are all in order, find this rule, we will look back at the last two Zhang Ruoying's questions.
The first time was in the county exam six years ago, and his question came from the second section of "Gongsun Chou Chapter and Sentence", and once was in the county exam at the beginning of this year, and his question was still from "Gongsun Chou Chapter and Sentence Second Section 3".
Then I can boldly infer that the thesis of this supplementary exam is still to take "Mencius", but whether it will continue to take the "Gongsun Chou Chapter and Sentence Section 4", I am not sure.
Yesterday I went to inquire about Zhang Ruoying's class, he gave a secret lesson to his disciples two days ago, and he happened to talk about "Mencius", he gave his disciples a question, "What is the spirit of Haoran", what do you realize about it? ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Lin Hong hurriedly said, "Senior brother, do you want to bet on this question?" ”
"I really plan to bet on this question!"
Fanning smiled and said: "But this is only one of them, in addition, I want to bet on another question, the title is from the fourth section of the second chapter of Gongsun Chou, the title I gave is: "On Mencius to Tell the King of Qi with a distance from the heart", I will bet on these two questions to do the thesis." ”
Everyone wrote down Fanning's two questions, and Lin Hong smiled and asked, "Then which one should be rhymed with the Sutra?" ”
Fan Ning smiled and said: "Since it was Zhang Ruoying who made the question, it was either "The Book of Songs" or "The Book of Rites", these are the two courses he is best at.
Let's go back and take a good look at the "Book of Rites", especially focusing on "Confucianism".
In the twelfth and sixth years, I took the "Confucianism" exam, and I think this time I will still take the "Confucianism" exam. ”
Li Dashou scratched his head, "Senior brother, what should I do if I still have a poem topic?" ”
"I'll think of a way to compose a poem, and I'll tell you about composing a poem next time, and now you can take out "Mencius" and "The Book of Rites" and memorize the two articles I just said."
